What Droppy is

A native macOS app that turns the top of your screen into a working surface: a file shelf, a clipboard history, media controls, live status, and a store of optional tools called Droplets.

On a MacBook with a notch, Droppy lives in the notch and grows out of it. On an iMac, a Mac mini or any external display, the same surface appears as a floating Dynamic Island pill instead. Nothing is missing on a Mac without a notch, and you choose which of the two shapes each display uses.

Everything runs locally. Files you drop, text you copy and screens you capture stay on your Mac unless you deliberately share them. The only two features that talk to a server are Droppy Cloud, which uploads what you choose, and Droppy Sync, which carries end to end encrypted records to your iPhone.

The four things it does

A shelf for filesDrag anything to the top of the screen and it waits there until you drag it back out, anywhere else.
A clipboard that remembersEvery copy is kept, searchable and ready to paste again, with the app it came from.
Live status, not pop-upsVolume, brightness, battery, timers, calls, recordings and downloads all report from one place.
35 optional DropletsFree extensions the size of apps you would otherwise buy. They only run when you switch them on.
